The driving distance between Knoxville, TN and Nashville, TN is approximately 180 miles. The driving time would be approximately 3 hours if you were to travel non-stop in goodâ¦ driving conditions.
If you have a thrown rod, you will have a loud rhythmic banging noise that changes frequency with the engine RPM speed. The sound will be quite like the sound when banging two hammers together. You will also have extremely low or no oil pressure.
A true thrown rod, would make a hole in the block. And your truck would not run. Yous hould get a second opinion form a different mechanic. Yous hould check your engines compression, drain out some oil to see what iot looks like, and check your cat.
